Transform your ordinary baguette into irresistibly crispy French Bread Chips—a quick and easy recipe that’s perfect for snacking or entertaining! Made with thinly sliced French bread brushed in a savory blend of olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper, these crunchy chips are baked to golden perfection in just 15 minutes. Ideal as a standalone snack, served with dips, or as a flavor-packed topping for soups and salads, these homemade chips are a versatile alternative to store-bought options. With a prep time of only 10 minutes and a satisfying crunch in every bite, French Bread Chips are an effortless and delicious way to elevate any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Slice the French bread baguette into thin, even slices about 1/4-inch thick. Lay the slices flat on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful oil mixture.
Brush both sides of each bread slice with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Arrange the seasoned slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Flip the slices halfway through the baking time for even toasting.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the chips to cool completely on a wire rack. They will become crispier as they cool.
Serve the French bread chips as a standalone snack, with your favorite dip, or as a crunchy addition to soups and salads. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
